The method

Step by step

1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan.
Cook’s note: Ensure your bananas are very ripe with plenty of brown spots for the best natural sweetness.
2
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps if desired.
About 2 min
3
Add the beaten eggs, plain yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine all the wet ingredients.
About 2 min
4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Whisking dry ingredients ensures they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Overmixing can lead to a tough banana bread.
6
Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
About 1 min
7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
About 1 min
8
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
About 50 min
Cook’s note: If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
9
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
About 10 min
